The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD delivers superior performance compared to the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. The Sierra 3500 HD's max towing capacity is 36,000 pounds versus the Silverado 2500 HD's 16,000 pounds-more than double. For power, the Sierra produces up to 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque via its available Duramax diesel engine, while the Silverado offers a standard 401-horsepower gas engine.
